KIT_XMC1300_IFX9201
Hardware Compatible to Arduino
The stepper motor control shield based on Infineon’s H-Bridge IFX9201 and XMC1300 microcontroller is capable of driving the two coils in a stepper motor featuring a dual-H-Bridge configuration. The implemented integrated IFX9201 H-Bridges can be controlled by a STEP signal via the STEP PIN. Interfacing to a microcontroller is made easy by the integrated XMC1300 microcontroller that holds the peripherals to allow high-speed current control. Micro-stepping of the stepper motor can be achieved using the internal comparators. Operational amplifiers are installed to adapt the motor current sense signal to the microcontroller’s input levels.
This high current stepper motor control board is compatible with Arduino microcontroller boards and with Infineon’s XMC™ microcontroller kits using the Arduino form factor.
